In addition to package writing, there's the IMAGE_PKGTYPE varaible which controls which of the rootfs_<pkgtype> bbclasses is used to construct the root filesystem. You can inherit multiple packaging formats, resulting in multiple formats being emitted, but one has to be selected specifically for the filesystem. If you only inherit one packaging class (i.e. package_ipk) it will automatically set the image packaging type to match. So, to switch:
1) INHERIT += "package_rpm" 2) IMAGE_PKGTYPE = "rpm" On Wed, Sep 1, 2010 at 6:57 AM, [email protected] < [email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > I'm working on a beagleboard. > I'm wondering if there is a > quick > way to change package manager from opkg to dpkg or to rpm, both > on the > host and on the target. > I think that including dpkg package in, > for > example, arago-console-image is not enough because all packages > are > built with ipkg/opkg. > Moreover the directory /usr/lib/opkg/info > with > all postinst/prerm scripts could not be used anymore. > > I report a > small > extract from openembedded manual: > "The package_write task is > > responsible for taking each packages subdirectory and creating any > > actual > installation package, such as .ipk, .deb or .rpm.
